A handsome period farm house, constructed of mellow red brick elevations, with a recently converted outbuilding creating an contemporary and spacious one bedroom cottage, set in about 13.5 acres of beautiful paddock land and woodland.

The front entrance hall has a beamed ceiling and slate floor, with a log burning stove built into a brick fireplace. The hall is flanked by the sitting room and drawing room, both having doors to the front gardens, log burning stoves and wooden flooring. Connected via an inner hall (with shower room and study off) is the dining room, with quarry tiled floor, butler’s cupboard and log burning stove. Accessed via the dining room is the rear lobby, which leads to the boot/utility room. An opening from the dining room leads to the expansive kitchen/breakfast room – a modern extension with wonderfully high ceilings and exposed wooden trusses, giving the kitchen a real feeling of opulence. The room is flooded with natural light by two large sets of floor to ceiling windows with French doors to each set. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of solid oak painted units with granite worksurfaces with large central island unit, with an impressive complement of fitted appliances including a four oven Aga.

The first floor has great ceiling height and comprises five good-sized bedrooms, all served by a new opulently fitted bathroom with ball and claw footed freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle.

An outbuilding has recently been converted to create a contemporary and spacious detached one bedroom cottage. This newly created, light and generously proportioned space offers a large open-plan kitchen and living space, fitted with grey painted units with wooden worksurfaces and built-in fridge, dishwasher and electric oven. There are two sets of French doors to the front overlooking the tarmacadam parking area. A door leads to the large entrance hall which, in turn, leads to the large double bedroom with exquisite en suite bathroom with free-standing bath, his and her sinks and separate shower.

Set well back from the road, an impressive post and railed entrance leads to a long, sweeping tarmacadam drive. The drive leads to a large rear courtyard fronting the cottage and outbuildings, with ample parking and turning space.

The gardens wrap around the house, with a wide stone terrace providing a wonderful al fresco dining area, accessed off French doors from the kitchen/breakfast room, allowing for full enjoyment of the landscaped gardens and paddock land beyond.

The gardens consist of large expanses of manicured lawns, punctured by flower borders, a small pond and specimen trees. This overlooks the extensive paddock lying to the front and side of the house, making the property ideal for the hobby farmer or equestrian buyer. A large machinery store has potential to be converted into an American-style barn/stabling complex, whilst there is also a useful separate outbuilding with log store, lean-to and gardener’s WC.

To the left of the drive is the extensive woodland, where pretty paths can be enjoyed.
